Dalliance Theater will premiere the new play REFRACTIONS by Eliot Stockton from August 19-29 at The New York International Fringe Festival, a Production of The Present Company.

REFRACTIONS digs into the fight of a young writer to finish his latest piece under the watchful eye of his Producer. Meanwhile, four entwined lovers struggle to free themselves from each other, but can't stop themselves from sliding backwards to that first hot spark that brought them together. As the lines between lucid fiction and brutal reality fall apart, the relentless language of sex and power slowly gives way to a solitary, painful truth. This is an intelligent and aggressive drama, filled with brutal insight and honesty...don't flinch.

Dalliance Theater was founded in 2006 as a theatrical playground for artists, providing an artistic base to breathe new life into original, classical and obscure works. Most recently, Dalliance staged the bar-hopping phenomenon BECAUSE OF THE ECONOMY..., as well as a critically acclaimed production of Strindberg's seldom-staged masterpiece A DREAM PLAY.
